After a few years in which – why deny it – the TARDIS has warmed up to half throttle (through no fault of the fabulous Jodie Whittaker, who did what she could), 60th anniversary celebrations from ‘Doctor Who’ are going to do everything possible to put her back on the map of all those who disengaged throughout the seasons. Thus, the election of a new Doctor and the return of David Tennant and Catherine Tate are joined by an actor who promises to be a villain up to the task Circumstances: Neil Patrick Harris.
That’s the plan, rule the world
The truth is that Neil Patrick Harris enjoys the roles of villain with charisma, from that magnificent Doctor Horrible (of which many are still waiting for a sequel that will never come) to Count Olaf of the tremendous and little recognized series ‘A series of catastrophic misfortunes’. Neil acts, dances, sings and is much more than Barney Stinsonso we are counting down the hours to see him in ‘Doctor Who’.
Space-time is hard to get, so the time will be in 2023. At the moment we only have one image and the Russell T. Davies’ first statements, which do not bode well for a peaceful coexistence between Neil Patrick Harris and the Doctor. For whatever reason.
It is a great honor to open our studio doors to the magnificent Neil Patrick Harris… but who, why, what is he playing? You will have to wait. But I promise you that what we are shooting now exceeds all limits. Watch out Doctor!
Will it be a new version of the Master? A new recurring villain? An eccentric partner who sings and dances? At the moment we can see the actor in ‘The unbearable weight of a huge talent’ and, if you prefer, on HBO Max you have him in ‘Matrix Resurrections’. And it’s not like he’s standing still the rest of the time: if you go to new york you might still catch him in the broadway version from ‘Into the woods’. Come on, it’s clear that he needs the TARDIS to handle all the work that comes his way.
